'Drop in the Bucket' Campaign

Starts Tonight at Piccadilly Dance By Jane Wister

ALWAYS highwater marks of the late winter calendar, the Pic­cadilly Dances are proving especially welcome and refreshing in a current season especially marked by a dearth of social

activities. This evening's dance. In the Bellevue-Stratford's Rose

Garden, is the fourth gathering in the season's series of some ^trnmam^ eight or ten soirees. The same fat

chubby tallow candles will light the red and white check covered tables, many of which will centre large Dutch parties and as many more pri­vate groups, arranged in many in­stances in compliment to visiting guests, while Meyer Davis' orchestra will play for the dancing. The spirit of conviviality Is the domi­

nating charm of these gatherings, which stress the simplicity of informality in an atmosphere distinctive for its Intimate excluslveness.

Many Gay Dinners

MISS WIEDERSHEIM

The usual whirl of gay little dinners will precede the dance this evening, some held in the Burgundy Room and as many more in private homes. Among those

entertaining beforehand will be Betty Wiedersheim, whose dinner will honor the young Livingston Biddies, Jr., and Ernie Biddle with his good-looking wife, who was Peggy Anne Huber, you re­member.

Others giving dinners, "before taking their guests to the dance are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence J. Lewis, Jr., the Ferdinand P. Schoettles, the William M. Andersons, Mrs. C. Joseph Dexter and the F. Livingston Fletchers.

Some of the out-of-town guests attending will be Mrs. Hugh Armitage, Dr. and Mrs. John Apple, Miss Susie Stanifer, Dr. Richard Riley and Ensign William Fletcher, all of New York; Mr. Donald Corrigan, of Williamsport, and Mr. Donough Prince, of Chicago.

Opens "Drop in the Bucker" . Campaign

By the way, the occasion will also mark the introduction of the "Drop in the Bucket" campaign, with the appearance of a bucket felt-lined to disguise the noise of the coins, placed at the entrance to the ball room.

Lest you've missed the story of the campaign, the'idea is a means of collecting funds for the work of the Navy League ."Service which only recently voted to divide the proceeds be­tween the Army and Navy funds. So whether your choosing is the mule or the goat as a mascot, it's all for the same cause* and your side is bound to receive its share.

More letters from friends basking in the warmth of Florida sun­shine tell of spirited competition among the fishing i devotees v^sconced at the Casa Marina for some deep sea fishing off Key West. That's the spot chosen by Mr. C. Jared Ingersoll and his bride, the onetime Agnes Clement, for » brief honeymoon, who plan to re­turn to Fort Washington along about the middle of next week.

The Alfred G. B. Steels, who are due back Monday from a holi­day at the same resort, had their first taste of deep sea sport this week.

Novel Touches in Decoration Add Distinction to Home By Marion Kelley

J . H . Kerr Catches a 33- Pound Fish

Seems as though Mr. John J. Hicks Kerr, whose wife is the for­mer Mrs. Brockie Dilworth, has been the envy of all vacationing down that way, since hauling In a 33-pound grouper on Wednesday, when the rest of the party brought in a. noteworthy collection of amberjack, bonita and mackerel, along with a 27-pound kingfish. Sounds like exciting sport, doesn't It?

Mr. and Mrs. Charlton Yarnall set forth last Monday to occupy "Nautilus Cottage" for the balance of the winter. The Edward C. Dales have deserted Bryn Mawr for their beautiful Palm Beach place, where they will doubtless remain for the next two months or more.

The Philemon Dickinsons, en residence for the rest of the sea­son at their hospitable abode in Breakers Row, have been surrounded by guests, since their arrival. Right now Mrs. Glendlnnlng Frazer's delightful Bettina is visiting Ann Dickinson.

CHILD CARE

Toy Iron and Ironing Board Solve Mother's Problem

rpHE occasional pieces of furniture, an attractive Jg corner decoration, a clever touch with a colorful

ceramic or a novel lamp shade;, these are the impor­tant little things that give a room distinction. A certain number of pieces of furniture in the style of the times, sets of stock draperies and a colorful rug will make a room comfortable, even pleasing to the eye. But it does not give it personality.

It is little novel touches that make every home a thing apart, that reflects the individuality of those who live there and stamps your dwelling attractively decorated. How to go about it? That is something each person must decide for himself. Copying the style of a setting from Mrs. Smith's house may not improve your own, even though Mrs. Smith's living room is a delight to the eye.

Use colors and ornaments that appeal to your in­

dividual taste. If you like a bit of the Orient, introduce a few Chinese embellishments here and there. This gives a very subtle decor that can be really fascinating. And odd pieces of Chinese art blend beautifully with 18th Century or modern furniture.

In today's illustration we combine a bit of Oriental decoration with Regency. The floor is carpeted in a soft blue-green and the walls are painted a very pale green giving a delightfully restful background. The wing chair is covered in sunny yellow chintz with a floral pattern in light brown, tans and ivory, and the same material is used for window draperies. Green and white striped damask covers the open arm chair. The drum table in Regency style holds a few Chinese ornamentations. And the wall arrangement is most attractive.

Along the Social Way

By Carolyn Randolph A child who keeps busy usually

stays out of mischief. Mothers will be wise to give some

thought to their youngsters' play on days when they will be extra busy working. Children are active and energetic and want to be doing some­thing all the time they are awake. What they do depends upon the guid­ance they are given.

Little children often need help in selecting their play. They find it just as interesting to investigate mothers cupboard where they can pull out all the pots and pans, as to pull all their toys out of the play-box. Mother's suggestions will give them something interesting to do.

Children are invariably fascinated by the work they see their mothers doing. They try to imitate her and small pieces of play equipment that make this possible provide instruc­tion for a child. Mrs. Creighton B. Goes, Philipsburg, Pa., has over­come her ironing day problem by lettiag her little boy work with her.

"Bobby, aged Zli years, was such a peppy youngster and Into every­thing. On ironing day he was a problem as It took so much time seeing what he was into. He seem­ed interested in my Iron, so over my husband's protest I purchased mm iron and ironing board for him. Now when I get down the honing board he gets his and Irons along with me. I give him some old napkins which he irons and folds over and over.

Q. My eight-months-old baby Is attempting to crawl. He is quite heavy. Should I discourage him and make him sit still?—MRS. L. P. W.

A. Children often begin to crawl at eight months. Do not encour­age him by standing him on his feet, but allow him to be free to move as he wants to, His muscles should be strong enough to hold him before he gets about much and without encouragement he will not try to do what Is beyond his strength.

The Decoration

Query Box The Inquirer will help you

solve your Home Decoration problems through the columns of this newspaper. Address all queries to Marion Kelley, Philadelphia Inquirer.

Black-Out Windows Q. All my window shades are yel­

low. I would like to turn them green or brown so they will serve the pur­pose of black-out cloth. What paint or dye can I use?— > W. J. M.

A. A window shade will not give a complete black-oat because it does not fit close at the sides. If you want to change the color on the inside it would be better and more attractive to stitch a piece of chintz across the top, close to the roller, and cut it to match the sides, then turn it under at the bottom and stitch. This makes a most attractive shade and rolls evenly. Why not hang draperies across the window, a colorful print lined with black. These can be drawn in an emergency and yet appear pleasing when tied back.

Redecorating Room Q. I wish to redecorate my bath­

room. It has wainscoting 5 feet high, and plastered walls and ceiling. The room is painted yellow. I wish to change the ceiling to white, the wainscoting purple, leaving walls yellow. What color should door and window frame be painted?—

W. J. M. A. My suggestion would be to

paint the wainscoting a soft orchid and the walls and ceiling an oyster white. If the paneling surrounds the door and window paint it the same shade. This will give your room a more spacious effect. I would not use three colors here.

Tea Kettle Tips When your tea kettle is not in

use, empty it and wipe it dry. Water in many localities is very hard and leaves a lime deposit in tea kettles and other utensils used for boiling water. This deposit may be removed by heating vinegar in the utensil.

Anyone of any faith can read The Inquirer's new Saturday Religious Page with interest and profit.

Cranberry Shortcake For a festival of color, serve cran­

berry shortcake. Make a sweet cran­berry sauce and pour over shortcake rounds. Top off this gay dessert with a generous spoonful of whipped cream.

Little Bobby wanted a bicycle for Christmas. I talked with him about there being a war and that we should buy bonds instead of bicycles. I forgot the incident until a few days later when we went to see Santa Claus. When he was asked what he wanted for Christmas, Bobby replied,*"Well. I did want a bike, but on account of the war, I guess I'll take a bond." —Submitted by Mrs. John Hough, 417 Hazle st., Tamaqua, Pa.
